Still using a watch?

My watch battery died a few weeks ago. I don’t have another functioning watch and buying a replacement battery isn’t on the top of my to-do list. So the watch has been sitting in my home office collecting dust. Now, after living without it for a few weeks and always knowing the time when I needed it, I’m wondering if I still need to wear a watch. Short of trying to make some fashion statement, which doesn’t happen with a Timex and I’ve never been accused of being fashionable, the utility of the watch seems to be dead.

Here’s a list of all the places I’ve been able to get the current time in the past few weeks:

Computer calendar program reminder pop-up

Computer clock in the tray

Desk phone

Mobile device

Neighbor

Television channel info bar

Automobile dash

Satellite radio

Wall clock

GPS

Oven clock

Microwave clock

The dog (Yes, he eats on the sixes and he knows the time)

What about you? Do you still wear a watch? Do you use it if you wear it?
